A. Findings of Fact
1. Description of Application: The applicant is requesting approval for a development agreement
modification and a preliminary plat for the development of a 15 residential lot subdivision consisting
of 10 lots and 5 common lots. There is 1 existing home that is proposed to remain.
The site is zoned R-4 (Medium Low-Density Residential) and the applicant's proposal is consistent
with the City of Meridian's comprehensive plan which designates this site as low-density.
2. Description of Adjacent Surrounding Area:
Direction I Land Use Zoning
North Rural-Urban Transition (Ada County) RUT
South Medium Low-Density Residential District R-4
East Medium Low-Density Residential District R-4
West Medium Low-Density Residential District R-4
3. Site History: ACHD staff previously reviewed this site as Bannock Ridge/MPP17-0011 in May
2017. The requirements of this staff report have been updated to reflect the current site plan
proposed for the site.
4. Adjacent Development: The following developments are pending or underway in the vicinity of
the site:
1 Bannock Ridge/ MPP19-0035/
H-2019-0143
• Silverwater South, a 13-lot residential subdivision is located south of the site and was
approved by ACHD in August 2016.
• Silverwater North, a 13-lot residential subdivision is located south of the site and was
approved by ACHD in August 2016.
5. Transit: Transit services are not available to serve this site.
6. Pathway Crossings: United States Access Board R304.5.1.2 Shared Use Paths. In shared use
paths, the width of curb ramps runs and blended transitions shall be equal to the width of the shared
use path.
AASHTO's Guidelines for the Development of Bicycle Facilities 5.3.5 Other Intersection
Treatments: The opening of a shared use path at the roadway should be at least the same width
as the shared use path itself. If a curb ramp is provided, the ramp should be the full width of the
path, not including any flared sides if utilized. . . . Detectable warnings should be placed across the
full width of the ramp.
FHWA's "Designing Sidewalks and Trails for Access" (1999) reflected common ADA-related
concepts: Chapter 6, Page 16-6: The width of the ramp should be at least as wide as the average
width of the trail to improve safety for users who will be traveling at various speeds. In addition, the
overall width of the trail should be increased, so the curb ramp can be slightly offset to the side.
The increased width reduces conflict at the intersection by providing more space for users at the
bottom of the ramp.
7. New Center Lane Miles: The proposed development includes 0.05 centerline miles of new public
road.
8. Impact Fees: There will be an impact fee that is assessed and due prior to issuance of any building
permits. The assessed impact fee will be based on the impact fee ordinance that is in effect at that
time. The impact fee assessment will not be released until the civil plans are approved by ACHD.
9. Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)/ Integrated Five Year Work Plan (IFYWP):
• An enhanced pedestrian crossing is scheduled in the IFYWP to be installed on Victory Road
at Timber Avenue in 2020.
• Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be widened to 5-lanes from Victory Road to
Overland Road in 2022.
• The intersection of Victory Road and Locust Grove Road is scheduled in the IFYWP to be
constructed as a multi-lane roundabout in 2021.
• Locust Grove Road and Bridge Number 2087 is scheduled in the IFYWP to be
reconstructed/widened in 2022.
• Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Meridian Road (SH-69) to
Locust Grove Road between 2026 and 2030.
• Victory Road is listed in the CIP to be widened to 3-lanes from Locust Grove Road to Eagle
Road between 2021 and 2025.
B. Traffic Findings for Consideration
1. Trip Generation: This development is estimated to generate 123 additional vehicle trips per day
(9 existing); 13 additional vehicle trips per hour in the PM peak hour (1 existing), based on the
Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 10t" edition.
2. Condition of Area Roadways
Traffic Count is based on Vehicles per hour(VPH)

• Acceptable level of service for a two-lane minor arterial is "E" (575 VPH).
• Acceptable level of service for a three-lane minor arterial is "E" (720 VPH).
3. Average Daily Traffic Count (VDT)
Average daily traffic counts are based on ACHD's most current traffic counts.
• The average daily traffic count for Victory Road east of Meridian Road (SH-69) was 10,684
on June 6, 2017.
• There are no current traffic counts for Mesa Way.
C. Findings for Consideration
1. Level of Service
Victory Road
a. Policy:
Level of Service Planning Thresholds: District Policy 7205.3.1 states that, Level of Service
Planning Thresholds have been established for principal arterials and minor arterials within
ACHD's Capital Improvement Plan and are also listed in section 7106. Unless otherwise
required to provide a Traffic Impact Study under section 7106, a proposed development with
site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or intersection peak hour traffic
shall not be required to provide mitigation for a roadway or intersection that currently exceeds
the minimum acceptable level of service planning threshold or V/C ratio.
b. Staff Comments/Recommendations: Victory Road currently exceeds the acceptable level of
service planning threshold "F" for a 2/3-lane Minor Arterial. The trips generated from this site
will contribute less than 2% to the total PM peak hour traffic on Victory Road. Therefore,
consistent with District policy 7205.3.1 Level of Service Planning Threshold, which states, a
proposed development with site traffic less than 10% of the existing downstream roadway or
intersection peak hour traffic shall not be required to provide mitigation; no improvements are
required along this street section.
2. Mesa Way
a. Existing Conditions: Mesa Way is improved with 2-travel lanes, 24 to 28-feet of pavement and
no curb, gutter or sidewalk abutting the site. There is 50-feet of right-of-way for Mesa Way (25-
feet from centerline).
b. Policy:
Local Roadway Policy: District Policy 7207.2.1 states that the developer is responsible for
improving all local street frontages adjacent to the site regardless of whether or not access is
taken to all of the adjacent streets.
Street Section and Right-of-Way Policy: District Policy 7207.5 states that right-of-way widths
for all local streets shall generally not be less than 47-feet wide and that the standard street
section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb).
Standard Urban Local Street-33-foot Street Section and Right-of-way Policy: District
Policy 7207.5.2 states that the standard street section shall be 33-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-
3 Bannock Ridge/ MPP19-0035/
H-2019-0143
curb)for developments with any buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section
shall include curb, gutter, and minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall
typically be constructed within 47-feet of right-of-way.
For the City of Kuna and City of Star: Unless otherwise approved by Kuna or Star, the standard
street section shall be 36-feet (back-of-curb to back-of-curb) for developments with any
buildable lot that is less than 1 acre in size. This street section shall include curb, gutter, and
minimum 5-foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides and shall typically be constructed within
50-feet of right-of-way.
Sidewalk Policy: District Policy 7207.5.7 states that five-foot wide concrete sidewalk is
required on both sides of all local street, except those in rural developments with net densities
of one dwelling unit per 1.0 acre or less, or in hillside conditions where there is no direct lot
frontage, in which case a sidewalk shall be constructed along one side of the street. Some local
jurisdictions may require wider sidewalks.
The sidewalk may be placed next to the back-of-curb. Where feasible, a parkway strip at least
8-feet wide between the back-of-curb and the street edge of the sidewalk is recommended to
provide increased safety and protection of pedestrians and to allow for the planting of trees in
accordance with the District's Tree Planting Policy. If no trees are to be planted in the parkway
strip, the applicant may submit a request to the District, with justification, to reduce the width of
the parkway strip.
Detached sidewalks are encouraged and should be parallel to the adjacent roadway.
Meandering sidewalks are discouraged.
A permanent right-of-way easement shall be provided if public sidewalks are placed outside of
the dedicated right-of-way. The easement shall encompass the entire area between the right-
of-way line and 2-feet behind the back edge of the sidewalk. Sidewalks shall either be located
wholly within the public right-of-way or wholly within an easement.
Half Street Policy: District Policy 7207.2.2 required improvements shall consist of pavement
widening to one-half the required width, including curb, gutter and concrete sidewalk (minimum
5-feet), plus 12-feet of additional pavement widening beyond the centerline established for the
street to provide an adequate roadway surface, with the pavement crowned at the ultimate
centerline. A 3-foot wide gravel shoulder and a borrow ditch sized to accommodate the roadway
storm runoff shall be constructed on the unimproved side.
c. Applicant's Proposal: The applicant is proposing to complete Mesa Way as a 36-foot street
section with pavement widening, curb, gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 50-feet
of right-of-way abutting the site.
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal does not meet District policy
and should not be approved as proposed.

H-2019-0143
d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The applicant's proposal to extend Loggers Pass Street
into the site (as Loggers Pass Way) Way as a 33-foot wide local street section with rolled curb,
gutter and 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk within 47-feet of right-of-way should be approved as
proposed.
Provide a permanent right-of-way easement to 2-feet behind back of sidewalk for any sidewalk
placed outside of the dedicated right-of-way.
4. Stub Streets
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing stub street, Loggers Pass Street, at the site's west
property line and is proposed to be extended into the site as a local street.
b. Policy:
Stub Street Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.3 states that stub streets will be required to provide
circulation or to provide access to adjoining properties. Stub streets will conform with the
requirements described in Section 7207.2.4, except a temporary cul-de-sac will not be required
if the stub street has a length no greater than 150-feet. A sign shall be installed at the terminus
of the stub street stating that, "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
In addition, stub streets must meet the following conditions:
• A stub street shall be designed to slope towards the nearest street intersection within the
proposed development and drain surface water towards that intersection, unless an
alternative storm drain system is approved by the District.
• The District may require appropriate covenants guaranteeing that the stub street will
remain free of obstructions.
Temporary Dead End Streets Policy: District policy 7207.2.4.4 requires that the design and
construction for cul-de-sac streets shall apply to temporary dead end streets. The temporary
cul-de-sac shall be paved and shall be the dimensional requirements of a standard cul-de-sac.
The developer shall grant a temporary turnaround easement to the District for those portions of
the cul-de-sac which extend beyond the dedicated street right-of-way. In the instance where a
temporary easement extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered by the
easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended.
c. Applicant Proposal: The applicant has proposed to construct a stub street, Loggers Pass
Way, to the south located 251-feet east of Glacier Bay Way(measured centerline to centerline).
The applicant has proposed to construct a paved
driveway area as a fire truck turnaround on Loggers ate, T

d. Staff Comments/Recommendations: The
applicant's proposal to construct a stub street, Loggers Pass Way, to the south located 251-feet
east of Glacier Bay Way meets District policy and should be approved.
6 Bannock Ridge/ MPP19-0035/
H-2019-0143
The applicant's proposal to construct a paved driveway area as a fire truck turnaround on
Loggers Pass Way does not meet District policy and should not be approved.
The applicant should be required to construct a temporary cul-de-sac turnaround at the terminus
of the stub street, as it extends greater than 150-feet in length. The temporary turnaround
should be paved and constructed to the same dimensional standards as a standard cul-de-sac
turnaround. If the turnaround extends onto a buildable lot, the entire lot shall be encumbered
by the easement and identified on the plat as a non-buildable lot until the street is extended.
The applicant should install a sign at the terminus of the stub street that states, "THIS ROAD
WILL BE EXTENDED IN THE FUTURE."
5. Driveways/Private Roads
a. Existing Conditions: There is an existing improved residential driveway onto Mesa Way located
205-feet north of Novara Way (measured centerline-to-centerline).
b. Policy:
Successive Driveways: District Policy 7207.4.1 states that successive driveways away from an
intersection shall have no minimum spacing requirements for access points along a local street,
but the District does encourage shared access points where appropriate.
Driveway Width Policy: District policy 7207.4.3 states that where vertical curbs are required,
residential driveways shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20-feet and may be constructed
as curb-cut type driveways.
Driveway Paving Policy: Graveled driveways abutting public streets create maintenance
problems due to gravel being tracked onto the roadway. In accordance with District policy,
7207.4.3, the applicant should be required to pave the driveway its full width and at least 30-feet
into the site beyond the edge of pavement of the roadway.
Private Road Policy: District policy 7212.1 states that the lead land use agencies in Ada County
establish the requirements for private streets. The District retains authority and will review the
proposed intersection of a private and public street for compliance with District intersection
policies and standards. The private road should have the following requirements:
• Designed to discourage through traffic between two public streets,
• Graded to drain away from the public street intersection, and
• If a private road is gated, the gate or keypad (if applicable) shall be located a minimum of
50-feet from the near edge of the intersection and a turnaround shall be provided.
b. Applicant Proposal: The applicant is proposing to construct a 24-foot wide private
road/driveway, Mesa Court, to intersect Mesa Way at the location of the existing improved
residential driveway located 205-feet north of Novara Way (measured centerline-to-centerline).
c. Staff Comments/Recommendations: If the City of Meridian approves the private road, the
applicant shall be required to construct the 24-foot wide private road, Mesa Court, to intersect
Mesa Way at the location of the existing improved residential driveway located 205-feet north of
Novara Way, pave the private roadway its full width and at least 30-feet into the site beyond the
edge of pavement of Mesa Way and install pavement tapers with 15-foot curb radii abutting the
existing roadway edge. If private roads are not approved by the City of Meridian, the applicant
will be required to revise and resubmit the preliminary plat to provide public standard local streets
in these locations.
Street name and stop signs are required for the private road. The signs may be ordered through
the District. Verification of the correct, approved name of the road is required.
7 Bannock Ridge/ MPP19-0035/
H-2019-0143
ACHD does not make any assurances that the private road, which is a part of this application, will
be accepted as a public road if such a request is made in the future. Substantial redesign and
reconstruction costs may be necessary in order to qualify this road for public ownership and
maintenance.
The following requirements must be met if the applicant wishes to dedicate the roadway to ACHD:
• Dedicate a minimum of 50-feet of right-of-way for the road.
• Construct the roadway to the minimum ACHD requirements.
• Construct a stub street to the surrounding parcels.
6. Tree Planters
Tree Planter Policy: Tree Planter Policy: The District's Tree Planter Policy prohibits all trees in
planters less than 8-feet in width without the installation of root barriers. Class II trees may be
allowed in planters with a minimum width of 8-feet, and Class I and Class III trees may be allowed
in planters with a minimum width of 10-feet.
7. Landscaping
Landscaping Policy: A license agreement is required for all landscaping proposed within ACHD
right-of-way or easement areas. Trees shall be located no closer than 10-feet from all public storm
drain facilities. Landscaping should be designed to eliminate site obstructions in the vision triangle
at intersections. District Policy 5104.3.1 requires a 40-foot vision triangle and a 3-foot height
restriction on all landscaping located at an uncontrolled intersection and a 50-foot offset from stop
signs. Landscape plans are required with the submittal of civil plans and must meet all District
requirements prior to signature of the final plat and/or approval of the civil plans.

Ada County Utility Coordinating Council
Developer/Local Improvement District
Right of Way Improvements Guideline Request
Purpose: To develop the necessary avenue for proper notification to utilities of local highway and
road improvements, to help the utilities in budgeting and to clarify the already existing process.
1) Notification: Within five (5)working days upon notification of required right of way improvements
by Highway entities, developers shall provide written notification to the affected utility owners and
the Ada County Utility Coordinating Council (UCC). Notification shall include but not be limited to,
project limits, scope of roadway improvements/project, anticipated construction dates, and any
portions critical to the right of way improvements and coordination of utilities.
